Jacob Fowler is starting his professional career.
The Montreal Canadiens have signed the goaltender to a three-year, entry-level contract, which is set to begin next season, the team announced Friday morning.
The deal was first reported by Jimmy Murphy of The Sick Podcast on Thursday and was later confirmed by Sportsnet’s Eric Engels.
The 20-year-old will be joining the Canadiens’ AHL affiliate, the Laval Rocket, for the remainder of this season on an amateur tryout.
Fowler, from Melbourne, Fla., was selected by the Canadiens in the third round (69th overall) of the 2023 NHL Draft.
He spent the past two seasons playing for Boston College in the NCAA. Across 35 games in 2023-24, Fowler recorded a 25-7-2 record, a 1.63 goals-against average, and a .940 save percentage.
